About the producer
Zyma is a Tuscan producer focused on expressing the character of Sangiovese through careful winemaking and respect for the vintage.
About the year
2017 was a warm, dry year in Tuscany that produced wines with ripe fruit and good concentration. At seven years old, this wine has softened and opened up, with secondary flavours emerging alongside the primary fruit.
Grape characteristics
Sangiovese is Tuscany's signature grape, known for its bright acidity and red cherry flavours. It ages gracefully, developing complexity and earth tones over time.
About the region
Tuscany's rolling hills and Mediterranean climate create ideal conditions for Sangiovese. The region's long tradition of winemaking has refined techniques passed down through generations.
Tasting profile
Expect sour cherry and plum with hints of dried herbs, tobacco and earth. The wine has matured into a balanced, contemplative glass with layers that unfold as it warms.
Serving suggestions
Serve at 16 to 18 degrees Celsius. Decant for 30 minutes to let it breathe and soften. Use a standard red wine glass to concentrate the aromas.
